200 PM EDT Tue Oct 17 2023

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Central Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
Satellite images indicate that a broad area of low pressure located
about 1100 miles east of the Windward Islands has become better
defined since this morning, and the associated showers and
thunderstorms are also showing signs of organization. Environmental
conditions are expected to remain conducive for gradual
development, and a tropical depression will likely form during the
next day or two while the system moves westward to
west-northwestward across the central and western tropical
Atlantic. Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the
progress of this system. Additional information, including gale
warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National
Weather Service.  Regardless of development, this system has the
potential to bring gusty winds, heavy rainfall and flooding to
portions of the Lesser Antilles beginning Friday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.
